Fatty Wang's scream was very high-pitched and shrill.
Gu Qingfeng's face immediately changed and he became excited.
He immediately dodged and rushed towards the alley.
Before Xu Fan could react, Gu Qingfeng in front of him rushed into the alley.
This made him wonder, didn't Lord Gu say that he was very slow? Didn't he say that if you encounter a monster, you don't need to run faster than the monster, you just need to run faster than him?
But, isn’t Lord Gu’s speed too fast?
Xu Fan didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly ran towards the alley.
In the alley, Gu Qingfeng saw Fatty Wang lying on the ground. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingfeng asked hurriedly.
Fatty Wang pointed to the end of the alley with a trembling hand and said tremblingly: "The man selling...the candied haws is gone! This...is a dead end!"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He glanced around the alley and found that it was indeed a dead end.
There was absolutely no one inside except Fatty Wang and I.
interesting!
Gu Qingfeng said secretly, his body becoming slightly excited.
He watched Fatty Wang and the vendor walk into the alley one after the other, but the vendor disappeared.
He first carefully checked this dead end.
The alley is less than ten meters long, with gray-black walls of houses on both sides and a dilapidated wall blocking the end.
There are no secret doors.
Then there are only two possibilities.
First, the hawker was an expert and he ran away in the blink of an eye.
2. Demons.
Gu Qingfeng tended to believe the second possibility. After all, Fatty Wang was a martial artist at the eighth level of Qi Gathering. He and the peddler entered the alley at the same time, and the peddler disappeared right under his nose in the blink of an eye. If the peddler was also a martial artist, he must be at least one realm higher than Fatty Wang, and only someone at the True Qi realm could have such speed.
How could a small village like Heishui Village possibly have a strong man in the Qi realm who also sells candied haws? The probability is too small.
But Gu Qingfeng couldn't figure it out. What if the other person was a hermit who just liked to sell candied haws?
So he planned to find out the identity of the vendor first.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at three children playing nearby. These three children had been playing here. The place where they were was in a straight line with the alley, so they could directly see the situation in the alley.
Gu Qingfeng walked up to the children and looked at the three little ones with rosy cheeks.
He smiled and said, "Little guys, did you see where the vendor selling candied haws went just now?"
The three little guys seemed a little shy. After waiting for a while, one of them, the one with a pigtail, asked, "Do you have money?"
Gu Qingfeng was stunned. Damn, whose naughty kid is this? Is he so realistic?
Of course, he couldn't argue with the child, so he immediately took out two copper coins and handed them to the little boy.
The little boy was delighted to see the money and then he answered Gu Qingfeng's question.
"I didn't see any vendor selling candied haws." said the little boy, blinking his innocent big eyes.
"Little brother, lying is not a good habit. The vendor was selling candied haws next to you and then turned into this alley. Tell the truth and I will reward you handsomely."
While Gu Qingfeng was speaking, Fatty Wang and Xu Daizi also came over, but Fatty Wang still looked frightened.
"Yes, yes, little guy, we are from the Demon Suppression Bureau. If you lie, we will spank you soon." Fatty Wang threatened.
Unexpectedly, the little boy was not frightened. Perhaps he did not know what the Demon Suppression Division was. Instead, he said angrily, "I am not lying! I, Gou Shengzi, never lie."
The little boy spoke sincerely, and his anger didn't seem fake, as if he had never seen any hawker before.
At this time, a little girl next to the little boy spoke. She seemed to be younger and her focus was not on the conversation at all. Instead, she had a special liking for candied haws.
"Where are the candied haws? Nini wants to eat candied haws."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingfeng instantly realized something that he had overlooked before. It is very difficult for children to resist the temptation of candied haws. The vendor was selling candied haws next to the children. If these three children really saw the candied haws, it is impossible that they would not have any reaction at all and would still be playing there. They would have surrounded them long ago.
That means the little boy didn’t lie!
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng laughed. Things were becoming more and more interesting. It seemed that the demon this time was quite powerful.
At this point, Gu Qingfeng has already confirmed that it is a demon. It cannot be a hermit master. A hermit master is not an invisible master, so how could a child not see it?
Fatty Wang and Xu Fan on the side were not fools either, and they also figured out the connection.
At this moment, Fatty Wang felt cold all over: "Demon...demon, it must be a demon, sir, before it gets dark, let's hurry..."
Before Fatty Wang could finish his words, the last rays of sunset faded away.
It’s getting dark.
"It's over, it's getting dark! Sir, let's run, we must still make it in time."
As Fatty Wang spoke, he put on the layer of armor he had taken off earlier.
"Master Gu."
Suddenly a voice came from behind Gu Qingfeng and others.
A few people turned around and found that it was the village chief Hu Liang walking towards them from a distance holding a lantern.
The dim light shone on the village chief's wrinkled face, and the light flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as he walked.
"I have prepared food at home. I hope you gentlemen will condescend to eat this food and don't be disgusted."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be disrespectful if you refuse."
Fatty Wang was not happy at all: "Sir, don't eat anymore. In my opinion, this village is evil. We'd better leave as soon as possible."
"I still say that, if you want to go, go by yourself, I will never stop you."
Fatty Wang looked at the gloomy and dark sky and realized he had no courage to escape alone, so he had to agree reluctantly.
After Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to say goodbye to the children.
But the moment he turned around, his face became extremely ugly!
Three children... gone.
Ahhhh!
Another loud scream was heard.
Apparently Fatty Wang also turned around and discovered that the child was missing.
"Shut up!" Gu Qingfeng shouted.
Now he was in a very bad mood because he found that he seemed to have been fooled by the demon.
There's something wrong with that vendor, and there's something wrong with these three kids too!
As a warrior, his hearing was naturally far superior to that of ordinary people. If he was an expert, it would be fine, but it was impossible for him not to notice a few children disappearing from his side.
These three children disappeared without any noise!
At this time, the village chief Hu Liang approached and asked nervously, "Master Gu, what's wrong with you?"
Apparently Fatty Wang's scream scared him.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the village chief calmly and asked, "Village Chief Hu, did you see the three children behind us just now?"
The village chief looked puzzled: "Children? Where are there any children? I only saw three adults."
